Crafty in the Med

I'm here to enjoy meeting other crafters and to share my ideas and projects. I love to crochet,cross stitch and embroidery but I'm keen to try new crafts too. I love music and I love to sing! Singing makes me happy. I collect jugs....its their shape I think! I am addicted to yarn and buttons. I get lost in book shops and can spend all morning there and I absolutely adore rummaging in flea markets. I love to read sci´fi/fantasy,buried treasure, and off world adventures. I have a passion for history! I would be the first passenger on the first time machine ! I BELIEVE IN MAGIC!

A Tiff over Le Tour de France

He said it was in France and I said it wasn't it was in England. He said it is called the Tour de France so it is held in France. I replied I recognize English green when I see it,even if it is on the TV and look there those fields like a patchwork quilt!
This twittering went on back and forth and tempers were getting a tad bit uppity and then I saw ...

one of these .... and I said THAT is not a French telephone box and although HE went on to add that some people collect them you know! Immediately after that comment we both saw this ...

I like the pin cushion to! Different! Glad you used the jam up first! :).

The Toure de France...Is a bit of a joke...What's it doing in Yorkshire! It's like having the Great North Run, in London! Silly sport to...Far to many cyclists, all falling over each other, and, quite a lot of injuries! I used to road race, when in my teens, not with that many though....!

There are just some things you cant argue with!, love the jar pincushion great idea. Perhaps I should make something like that as we have one cat in particular that sneaks my pin cushions and extracts all the pins leaving a trail. xcx

I had a giggle at this :) We saw a clip of it too and I thought 'that looks familiar' (that Green is very unique, isn't it?) and as I thought it my husband said that looks like England! Our doubts were laid to rest when an police officer wearing a Bobby hat came on the screen!Love the crochet jar pincushion, very cute xx

I'm not too good on the crochet front, although I've made a couple of zig zag blankets as pressies and they came out well. When I have some extra time I will try some crochet again, that may be in November the rate I'm going.

I was laughing out loud about your tiff because I had that same discussion with a friend. And I was right too!!! Your crochet "lid" is beautiful. Don't you just love when you start a project with something in mind and it grows into something else even more amazing? I love your jar cover.Blessings,Betsy

Of course you were right Amanda, it started just a few miles from me and everyone was very excited about it. I think it starts off in the Country of the previous years winner although I could be wrong about that. I love your pin cushion it's a great idea and it's very pretty too. :)

Now that makes sense Linda although I didn't know it was due to where the previous winner was from. However Meredith mentions here she remembers when Le Tour de France started in Netherlands so that seems to add up.

I LoVe your pincushion, Amanda!! I love the idea, the colours and the design, so gorgeous! So funny, those marital 'disagreements' and it is always nice to be proved right.....:DHappy weekend!Helen xox

Oh yes...it's a good feeling when your proved right Amanda!Gorgeously happy and colourful crochet pincushion...I love that it evolved as you worked too xHappy Weekend! (it's raining and very humid here this morning)Susan x
